Technical & procurement detail
What Beetroot Red (Betanin) is and what it does+
Beetroot red is a betalain colour obtained from red beet, standardised on betanin content. It gives a bluish-red shade in low-heat, mildly acidic systems.
Heat is the limiting factor+
Betanin degrades quickly above roughly 60 to 70 °C, shifting the shade from red towards brown. It belongs in cold or short-heat applications; a retort or baking process will not hold the colour.
Earthy note travels with the colour+
Beet-derived colours carry geosmin-related earthy notes that become noticeable at higher dosage in delicately flavoured systems. Evaluate flavour impact at the dose needed for the target shade.
Regulatory status is destination-specific+
Permitted use, permitted level and required labelling for this material differ by country, by product category and by intended claim. Allzone does not represent that the material is approved for your application in your market. Tell us the destination market and the finished-product category, and the available supplier documentation is provided so your regulatory team can complete its own assessment.
Documentation and specification+
Assay, particle size, solvent residue, microbiological limits and heavy-metal limits differ between producers and grades. Allzone confirms the applicable specification with the supplier before quoting and shares the technical data sheet, safety data sheet and certificate of analysis for the exact material offered, so the values you evaluate are the values you receive.
